COVID-19 has driven up unemployment and exacerbated inequalities in society – young people, women, low paid workers, older workers and black, Asian and minority ethnic groups have been hardest hit.

 

In response, we invite you to join Business in the Community’s West Midlands Leadership Board from 14:00pm to 16:00pm on Monday 15th March for an event to discuss the challenges faced in the West Midlands and the action your business can take to support those most impacted by Covid-19.

 

We will be joined by senior leaders from Business in the Community, SC Johnson, Jacobs and the Department for Work and Pensions who will discuss opportunities to:

  • Broaden horizons through mentoring and insights into career opportunities;
  • Develop essential skills through work experience opportunities such as Kickstart and Apprenticeships; and
  • Create a level playing field through volunteering for one-on-one support and taking steps to remove recruitment barriers.

 

Please sign here to join us. Together we can bridge the unemployment gap and make sure no one gets left behind.
